Scottish Lib Dem leader says his party has ‘message of hope’

As the panel discuss the week, it’s time for a quick look at the political news making headlines on the front of Scotland’s Sunday newspapers:

The Scottish Mail on Sunday reports on a ‘desperate’ u-turn for the SNP on energy policy. The newspaper says John Swinney plans review his party’s policy on opposing plans for new oil and gas fields in the North Sea.

This would be in direct opposition to his predecessors Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf who were against the plans. The paper says the review is “in a bid to woo voters” who work in the sector.

Pensioners could be hit by a “£1,000 tax raid” if Labour come into power is the warning coming from the prime minister according to the Scottish Sunday Express. Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is also targeting older voters in the Sunday Telegraph, as he promises a tax guarantee to protect people in retirement – although there is no new policy announcement.

Finally, the Sunday Mirror says one part of the plan is to get Britain working again. It is clear already, the paper says, that Labour is the choice to create more jobs.
